I won’t be happy until people here just are virulently anti-west in all scenarios and work to bring down their own empire instead of sitting back and enjoying the carnage. You live inside a Nazi regime, your inaction is complicity, and your attack of the enemies of your regime is a betrayal of socialism and internationalism
As I have said like 10 times already, fence sitting as a westerner is supporting NATO and failing your duty
So because NATO previously looted Russia that makes it more ok for NATO to attack them now? I don’t follow your convoluted logic to get out of revolutionary defeatism
So you aren’t a Leninist? Lenin is talking about foreign capitalist nations and how attacking them while your own imperialist nation is at war is a form of imperialist intrigue. You are just doing ultraleftism right now and not principled Leninism.
The difference between organizing around the two:
Principled: Oppose NATO and work to stop weapon shipments and push for peaceful negotiation as soon as possible
Unprincipled: oppose everyone equally and sit on your ass going “let them fight”
Both sidesism that includes your side is fence sitting and is not “opposing first and foremost your own nation”
The both-sides purity chauvinism would make Lenin mad too. He advocated revolutionary defeatism, which is attacking your own government and not being neutral/both sides
The about section explains it. There used to be a forum called the Whiskey Bar where geopolitics was discussed. The forum’s admin gave up and closed down, but many of the users followed ‘b’ over to his new blog.
It’s an old song they are quoting, Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Alabama Song’.
The name of the original Whiskey Bar was taken from Bertolt Brecht’s Alabama Song where the first line goes:
“Show me the way to the next whiskey bar”.
The name Moon of Alabama was taken from the first line of the chorus of that song:
“Oh, moon of Alabama …”.
The design of this site has been directly stolen or re-engineered from the Whiskey Bar site.

Bertolt Brecht was a Marxist playwright and songwriter from the GDR, which explains the German communist connection.
In addition, Soviet states also had a sort of fascination and admiration with American natives, they even created a genre of western films called Osterns that inverted the Cowboy-Indian dichotomy and glorified Native Americans above the settlers.
It’s just a blog posted by a hardline German communist and anti-imperialist with prior military experience named “b”. It’s amassed quite a following over the years and has an interesting comment section.
Imagine if SeventyTwoTrillion had a blog and we were just commenting on it instead of this news thread. Now imagine SeventyTwoTrillion has a ton of experience with NATO artillery and anti-aircraft but now hates NATO
I’m laughing at the idea of a lib stumbling onto Moon of Alabama. They would be so confused and lost
I would have considered myself a Marxist except I consumed all the trash from the garbage can of western ideology and believe their anti-communist lies.

Lift the ban on trans people in the US military
:trans-sad:
Apply a ban on people in the US military across the board without discrimination
:party-sicko:
Not the opinion of Xi, Maduro, Kim, Diaz-Canal or any other socialist leader
ISIS is American-backed imperialist force, and Russia crushed it
Another point in our favor, not yours
Here come the westoids to divine the intent of nations outside the core and judge them for their lack of purity
Caring about intent is idealism, caring about outcomes is materialism. You don’t have to like Putin to realize we have to work with him (we, as in the global left and AES) and that he has been a reliable ally
You claim to hate the US yet you spread US propaganda about its enemies, curious
:very-intelligent:
You have yet to figure out the concepts of revolutionary defeatism, imperialism and critical support
